If i use a mic thats 3.5mm, and my controller had an adapter with a splitter, would the mic...

Hi there! This is Virginia O.

I understand that you want to know if mic set up will work.

I apologize for the inconvenienced this has caused you. I will do my best to help you.

Yes, if your controller has an adapter with a splitter designed for a 3.5mm headset with a microphone, then you can use a standard 3.5mm microphone with it.

It is the splitter will separate the audio signal to send both the microphone input and headphone output to the controller.

Thank you for your cooperation and have a great day!

Hi there Horito,

Thanks for the reply. I was able to take a look into some resources. If you are using an Xbox One Controller, you will need the following components:

• Xbox One headset adapter
• 3.5mm CTIA Splitter cable (3 lines on the jack)
• 3.5mm jack to jack auxiliary cable ( 2 lines on the jack)

You will need to connect the Xbox One headset adapter to the Xbox One Controller. Then the 3.5mm CTIA Splitter cable (3 lines on the jack) connects into the adapter. The splitter cable will be identified as headset and mic. The 3.5mm jack to jack auxiliary
cable ( 2 lines on the jack) will be used in the mic cord to the Yeti Mic.

Hope this helps.

Yes, you will be "able to use my 3.5mm mp3 headphones with the adapter"

If you want to use a mic along with your headphones you will need to buy a 3.5mm headset splitter.

You can also use earbuds or IEM but if they have an inline mic, the mic will not work.

Sadly what you want to achieve exactly isn't possible. There is another way around but it means purchasing a "Startech.com 3.5mm 4 pin to 2x 3pin 3.5mm Headset Splitter Adapter - M/F" from amazon, along with a Stereo Headset adapter and another mic. You
then plug your Krackens into the headphone part of the splitter the seperate mic into the MIC part and then plug that into the Xbox Stereo Headset Adapter.

What 4-pole (3.5mm) is the male-end of the splitter (the one that plugs into your controller/headset adapter)? It needs to be CTIA, if it's OMTP you'll have problems with audio or mic.
